IPL 2021: Sunrisers Hyderabad full squad and player stats
David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad are the team, who always punch above their weight and the 2020 season was no less. Hampered by injuries in the first couple of games with Mitchell Marsh and their spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar ruled out of the season, the SRH needed people coming in to take that responsibility and perform for the team. Sandeep Sharma became the leader of the attack, T Natarajan was the star born for the Sunrisers and Jason Holder was the inspired casting choice. With the acquisition of Kedar Jadhav, Jagadeesha Suchith and Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, Sunrisers filled up whatever gaps they had left in their squad as they released the least number of players before the auction -- five. Here is a look at the full squad of the Sunrisers Hyderabad side.
